If you has ever read a Haruki Murakami book and wondered what a wild sheep chase or a wind up bird chronicle felt like, go to the bathroom at The Taste of Tokyo on 13th street. First drink lots of sake, then head to the bathroom, which is all the way at the end of [...]
I am back! Actually I have had a very busy week with interviews and Japanese tea ceremonies. I have learned the art of not shooting too low (job wise) and I have done some entries but they might be a bit damning of the present gig so I will publish them when I have [...]
